Terry Porter Biography

Terry Porter is a former NBA point guard. Porter played seventeen seasons in the NBA for a total of four teams, the Portland Trail Blazers, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Miami Heat, and the San Antonio Spurs. A two time NBA All-Star what makes Porter unique is that he was never traded, instead switching teams only through free agency. After a 17 year career, Porter retired in 2002 as a member of the San Antonio Spurs, immediately being hired as an assistant coach with the Sacramento Kings. In 2003, Porter left the Kings to become head coach of his hometown Milwaukee Bucks, but was eventually fired after failing to meet expectations in his two seasons at the helm. Following the firing, Porter took a year off, eventually accepting an assistant coaching job with the Detroit Pistons. This led to Porter being hired as the Phoenix Suns head coach, a position he would only hold for 51 games before being fired in the middle of the season. In 2011, Porter was hired as an assistant coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He subsequently was named the head coach at the University of Portland.
